I am planning a trip that, in part, will take me from Moab north to the Utah/Idaho border. We have never camped in the central to northern Utah area and are hoping to do it in the late Spring 2014. We love campgrounds more than RV parks with the space and beauty that campgrounds give that RV parks give up. As we head North to Idaho towards SLC and northward we have no problem going 100-200 miles off of the Interstate to appreciate and experience Utah's State and County campgrounds.So, we are looking for your favorites and with two last provisos: We will want to be there in the late May/early June period and these parks at the higher elevation need to be open and we have a Class A 32 foot with a toad. Space is an issue as well as the roads in.Thanks for the help

This site will give you a pretty inclusive accounting of Fed/State/City&County parks. Note the legend at the bottom of the map and go from there. The campgrounds show up like pins on the map and the right hand column lists the CGs that are visible. Clicking on a park in the column will lead to a website for further info.

There are plenty of places to camp in UT, both public and private

Three of my favorites when I was living in the Ogden area were:Willard Bay State Park (nice well kept can get windy in the evenings close to I-15)Antelope Island State Park (The buffalo can and sometimes will wander thru the campsites...pretty neat-o I thought)Monte Cristo Utah (Sits at 9000 feet beautiful spot way up high in the Wasatch...might be open when you get up that way)Of course there's lots of camping around Pineview reservoir and on up toward Magpie which is on the way to Monte Cristo.Loved this area when growing up back there.I think you might like these places too.Have fun!

All the way up to SLC and beyond there are some very nice State Parks with varying levels of service. Some are on the interstate and do have some road noise, some are a ways off the main highway and offer very relaxing sites. Here's the site: Utah State Parks. Enjoy the trip!

Very small campground but nice at Cedar Breaks Nat'l Monument. Just north of Zion a ways. Elevation around 10,000 ft. Kind of a mini-Bryce Canyon feature.
